Jessica Simpson talked to Catt Sadler of E!'s “Daily 10” about Carrie Underwood, making the switch to country music and her boyfriend Tony Romo

When Sadler asks if Simpson would ever collaborate with Carrie Underwood, she says: “I think that she is, she's a phenomenal artist and she's a great person. It's the media that kind of makes us butt heads. ..We both know how crazy it is and how blown out of proportion (it is).”

Regarding recording a country album, Simpson says: “While shooting ‘Dukes of Hazzard,’ I became really good friends with Willie Nelson. He played me a lot of music that was just inspirational and I would go on stage with him and it just felt like a right fit. At first I was afraid, just like anybody would be, because when you write a record, you confront a lot of things, a lot of issues in your life.

One of the people Simpson relied on while recording the album was boyfriend Tony Romo: “Tony's a very good, he has a very good ear for uh, music. His word definitely mattered. The fact that I got Dolly Parton's stamp of approval and I got Willie Nelson's stamp of approval. That's enough for me.”

When Sadler asks if Simpson is ready for a family, she says: “Right now I'm focused on my album and my career and being a great aunt, and being a great friend and a great girlfriend. I'm not having babies any time soon.”
